It’s hard not to sympathize with the Jets’ backup quarterback situation: Joe Flacco is the ideal backup in the sense that there might night be a better resource to gain knowledge and championship insight from. At the same time, he’s proven himself to be just effective enough to remain relevant at the NFL level.
However, sacrifices must be made while Zach Wilson recovers … and one of those sacrifices might be that you’re going to have to work with a 37-year-old thrower on the decline. His lost fumble could be more blamed on an inexperienced, makeshift offensive line, but if the Jets want to pull this off, they may need a bit of a youth jolt.
